A young lunch lady in Brazil needs to fight the world to protect her unique friendship with Lola, a helpless 71-year-old woman with a mental disability.
After a hospital in Rio shuts down and all patients are carelessly displaced, Gabi, a low-income lunch lady, does the impossible to make sure that Lola - a hospital patient with special needs who she grew close to - feels loved and cared for; two basic needs that the government will simply not provide for her. Gabi decides she’ll begin looking after Lola by bringing her one “lollie" (lollipop) a day. But as time passes, Gabi realizes that the Lola’s true place can only be by her side. Her new mission becomes convincing her husband, Jonas, to take Lola in.
Uma jovem cozinheira precisa lutar contra o mundo para proteger sua amiga Lola, uma senhora de 71 anos com deficiências física e mental, que não tem pra onde ir.
